Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American
Amsterdam's iconic American Hotel is an Art Nouveau confection that dominates the buzzing plaza of Leidseplein, right in the heart of the city's bar-and-club action. Built at the turn of the 20th century, the property's heyday was the 1920s, when the fabled Café Americain, with its gorgeous, over-the-top décor, was the favored hangout of Amsterdam's literary set.
Now a Hard Rock Hotel, the place has stood the test of time, but with a rock-star attitude. Rooms and suites are vast and decorated with bold hues and plush furnishings. Today the Café Americain is as popular as ever with a heady mix of hip locals and tourists drawn by the fine cocktails and views over the splashing fountains in front of the hotel.
